Opportunities and Challenges of Cold Membrane Filtration Dairy Processing: Research Perspective
Summary
Traditionally, membrane filtration is carried out at high temperature due to its associated benefits such as low fluid viscosity, high mass flow etc. However, undesirable microbial growth in the filtration system poses significant challenges for filtration performance and plant hygiene. Application of cold temperature in membrane filtration is gaining momentum in recent years, due to the advantages like low microbial growth and high product quality. This webinar focussed on understanding the role of cold temperature in membrane filtration processing and its associated opportunities and challenges in developing dairy ingredients. This webinar took place on 10 June 2021.
